Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want to become a witch

"She has disappeared."

Toyokawa Shoko leaned back in the tram, her hand supporting her face, and crossed her legs.

"You killed him with your own hands."

That's not me! It's you!

"What, am I not you?" Toyokawa Shoko looked at her disdainfully.

"..."

Xiangzi silently opened the bag containing the medicine and, following the doctor's instructions, put the capsules and pills into his mouth.

"You choose to run away when you can't win an argument. You haven't changed at all." Toyokawa Shoko's eyes grew colder and more contemptuous.

Ding dong.

"The train has arrived at the station."

Xiangzi closed his eyes and began to rest.

Toyokawa Shoko snorted coldly and turned to walk out of the tram door.

The train started moving again.

Xiangzi opened his eyes. The annoying self was gone. The monorail had also reached the sea. Looking at the cyber city from afar, there were five particularly conspicuous buildings standing in different directions of the city. Those were the most unusual things in the barrier, where the witch's familiar lived.

The first building houses a familiar called Dolores, which means sorrow.

The second building houses a familiar called Amoris, which means love.

The third building houses a familiar called Timoris, which means fear.

The fourth building houses a familiar called Mortis, which means death.

The most peculiar fifth building, from a distance, looks like a pure white cocoon wrapped in wings, inside which something ominous is being hatched.

It is called Oblivionis, which means oblivion.

And the witch...

Each witch's name is given at birth, and Xiangzi certainly knows the name of the master here.

Nirvana

Xiangzi and it have an absolutely inseparable relationship.

......

I'm sick.

You heard that right.

I'm really sick.

It's not the kind of illness that can be cured with injections, medicine, or surgery.

Dissociative identity disorder, cyclothymia, mild post-traumatic stress disorder...

No, it's not them; they can be cured with medication.

My illness.

An illness that only I can cure.

The Tale of Nirvana: Where Did You Sleep Last Night? - End Summary

This article was written by Xue Laobai's Cyber ​​Xiaoxiang, so the traces should be quite obvious.

In addition, I consider myself a semi-rock and movie fan, so when I write, I might incorporate a lot of things I want to recommend. Here is a playlist summarizing all the songs that have appeared in this volume.

If you want to see more, you can skip this page; it's only one page anyway.

Surely no one actually reads the end-of-book remarks.

(I would be so happy if someone could go and listen to it)

Cross it out.

There's also a little Easter egg: the Remington M11 that Xiao Xiang often uses is the same gun that Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of Nirvana, used when he was making Zisha teapots, and the line "Rather than lingering on, it's better to burn brightly" is also from his suicide note. The Xiangzi in this book incorporates many of my views on Kurt Cobain.

P.S.: The white Shiroko that Meow Dream saw can be referenced from the White Rei in EVA.

Surrounded by lights.

The director clenched his fist like a conductor drawing a rest, and then everyone in the studio held their breath, waiting for him to speak.

"One take, perfect," the director said.

"call......"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Today's work is done, thank you both from Sumimi." The script supervisor with long blue hair came over and handed a glass of water to Hatsuka and Mana.

Chu Hua smiled and nodded at her, while Mana took the water and said thank you in a sweet voice.

After that, the script supervisor has to clean up the mess.

"Is it pretty?" Mana asked.

"Yes, it's very beautiful," Chu Hua replied instinctively.

Mana noticed that Hatsuka's gaze was indeed following the blue-haired script supervisor, so she poked her cheek.

"Chu Huahua, if you care about her so much, Zhennai will get jealous."

Chu Hua snapped out of her daze and smiled apologetically.

"sorry."

"Come on, Mana's very generous. Hatsuka isn't Mana's possession." Mana's lips curled slightly as she pulled Hatsuka's hand towards the break room. "Time to go home! Let's go, Hatsuka!"

Today's work was shooting short video ads. Although we went through them one by one quickly, we couldn't handle the sheer volume. We shot from morning till night, and everyone was exhausted.

While Chu Hua was taking a lunch break, she overheard the director and cinematographer complaining that they didn't know when the final payment for this project would be delayed.

It seems that everyone is having a tough time.

Before leaving the studio, Chu Hua turned back for one last look at the script supervisor, who was working herself to the bone.

......

"Chu Huahua, how about we go out for something nice tonight?"

After returning to the lounge, Mana asked.

"Emmmm... I really want to go, but I have plans to meet someone today, sorry."

Chu Hua clasped her hands together and apologized to Mana.

"Definitely next time."

"it's okay no problem."

"I'm really sorry."

"Chu Huahua, if you keep apologizing like this, even Mana will get upset."

"Feel sorry......"

"Shh-"

Mana raised her index finger to block Hatsuka's mouth, then used both index fingers to lift the corners of Hatsuka's mouth.

"You'll look better if you smile more, Chu Huahua."

"understood."

"Speaking of which, I've been busy with work lately. Do you have enough of Chu Huahua's Lament Seeds? How about we go hunting tomorrow?" Mana added.

“Sure, I’m free tomorrow.” Chu Hua nodded.

"Then it's settled. I'll go buy some donuts from Yamabuki Bakery tomorrow. If you ask me, their donuts from Ashihara are still the best!"

"it is good."

......

After changing her clothes, Chu Hua did not leave immediately, but returned to the filming location.

The site was mostly cleaned up, the equipment was returned to its proper place, the curtains and everything else were put away. Only the last light on the ceiling was still on, and the blue-haired script supervisor was carefully checking the equipment under that light.

She was the last person to leave the entire venue.

"A five-meter-long track... eight large lights... lampshades... clapperboard... that's about it. They took the camera; the rest belongs to the studio. Turns out we didn't have to buy these ourselves... I see... I've got it..."

"Xiao Xiang...Xiangzi?"

"Hmm?" Xiangzi turned around. "Have you changed your clothes? Wait for me a moment, I'll be done soon."

Chu Hua looked around and frowned after confirming that Xiangzi was indeed the only one left.

“You shouldn’t have to do all this work by yourself. They’ve gone too far. I’ll talk to your agent.”

Xiangzi sighed.

"Don't cause trouble, it was my own request." She closed the equipment room door. "It's none of their business."

"why?"

"You can learn something from it."

Xiangzi stepped over Chuhua's shoulder and walked toward the exit.

She stopped at the door, placed her hand on the main switch, and looked back at Chu Hua, only to find that Chu Hua had not yet made a move.

"Aren't you leaving?" Xiangzi asked. "It's already very late."
